My first character was a HT.  Didn't know about ANYTHING and
started him with high str. and stamina, low dex and cun. :(  I gave up
the character a long time ago, and have only recently decided to play a
HT again (and try to do it RIGHT!).

Actually I'm working on gets stat to a decent level first,
they're still pretty cheap to raise.  After that I'll work on regen, then
maybe Init.  I want to get auto regeneration fairly early in his career
before start working on Init.

Actually my HT is doing VERY well in arena. :)  Uses different
strategy though.  Doesn't use a long range weapon.  Uses longsword.
Beginning parried (longsword's parry fairly well), but want to work on
d/r so is dodging/retreating. Retreating makes him slower then if he were
dodging/parrying, but works better.  He DOESN'T retreat for his actions,
only for defense.  They attack, he retreats, they move in, he attacks.  It
still makes him slower then normal, but I DO want to work on him defense. :)
	I don't know if he can keep this up.  It's hard to maintain a w/l %
as high as his, so I know it will go down.  As too how much only time
will tell.

Later,
